Looking through my devices, it seems to be listed under the SCSI area.  
The Kernel version is 2.4 (as returned via the kernelversion command).

Yes, data CD's are readily accessed.  And yes, I was trying to mount an 
audio disc.

How can I easily verify this?  I've run the update(s) methods and 
checked packages .. but can't readily determine how to verify that I 
have everything needed.

Dropping a audio CD back into the drive, the icon again changes, and 
using Konqueror to look at audiocd:/ I find this instead:

An error occured while loading audiocd:/:
The file or directory / does not exist.

Rummaging around with the terminal I cannot locate the audiocd:/ 
anywhere.  Though that doesn't really mean alot .. lots of things I 
can't find that are apparently readily findable, still not very familiar 
with using the terminal.  <G>

Kinda of .. I at least learned one new command today!  Kernelversion .. 
which has to be run as superuser, though my Linux in a Nutshell book did 
not specify this.
